Case Report: Life-saving embolization: a rare case of post-traumatic retroperitoneal hematoma from deep circumflex iliac artery rupture
This case highlights a rare but severe instance of retroperitoneal hematoma due to DCIA rupture, effectively managed with transcatheter arterial embolization. The utility of contrast-enhanced CT and angiography in diagnosing active bleeding is emphasized, underscoring the efficacy of transcatheter embolization as a critical intervention in such life-threatening situations.
